The Official 2018 NBA Draft Talk Thread 6/21

[prime]

all indications are that Bamba falls to 7 for the Bulls ... I dont buy it still

does anyone think there is a chance JJJ slips instead? I kinda do

You know damn well we drafting wendall carter jr

Doncic’s mom

Thought that was sister

 

[FAH1223]

Isiah Thomas on NBATV saying a healthy Michael Porter got Hall of famer as his ceiling

 

[Poitier]

I could see JJJ puling a Vonleh

You know, ive thought this before which is why it’s essential JJJ rim protection is forreal.

Similar physical tools, passiveness and offensive games.

JJJ probably more athletic and also more willing to shoot the 3 ball.

Yep

 

[CarltonJunior]

Not to be that guy but I never understood draft heads gassing up Vonleh, I never saw it with him and never thought he had a position in the NBA. I think JJJ will be better than him but I don't see anything beyond "solid player" if that makes sense

 

[LezJepzin]

Come on now

 

[CarltonJunior]

Come on now

It's been 10 years since he got drafted!?

I know it's been 10 years already I just had to act shocked.

a nikka gonna be checkin into the Larry Holmes Gardens before you know it.

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

Come on now

What does Doc think this is ?

Still don’t see the Porter Jr hype, although we need a “potential star wing” badly, dude seems injury prone as well

But if Porter and Giles pan out

 

[THE MACHINE]

Not sure about Michael Porter, dude has those slow ass Kyle Anderson feet And he had a really bad back at 19.

 

[The God Poster]

My issues with Doncic are exactly what worried me about Russell and what is limiting his impact. His lack of athleticism has meant he rarely is creating easy looks for himself which leaves him as being inconsistent as hell from game to game. Russell's playmaking has suffered as well since defenses can sufficiently cover him with just one person which leaves less openings for his playmaking. A bigger D'Angelo Russell is his best NBA comp to me with better court vision.

I will say he could carve out a Manu type career as a secondary ball handler. I just personally would worry about him being a primary ball handler where the issues I've mentioned can be attacked more. However if you have a primary ballhandler that can create openings and get it to Doncic to take advantage of a scrambling defense he could be reach all-star level.

The bolded is why Phoenix would be the the best spot for him. Lord knows DLO would have benefited greatly from Lonzo & Vice versa.

Magic better hope we get a star in FA

IDK Porter seems unusually slow

 

[The God Poster]

i dont think he slips past the Magic ... also sounds like the Hawks are highly interested, but prob wont take him at 3

Never thought of Young on philly

Obviously would mean they've given up on Fultz. Would be great to have & plug in once JJ is gone... Wouldn't be too woried about his size due to Ben.

Everybody saying draft Bridges but he basically is Covington

 

[str8up]

Philly should take Sexton, Trae would fit perfectly too next to Fultz.

 

[42 Monks]

Sexton is falling to the point if being a huge steal
